In a 4x4, it comes off the transfer case and not the tranny.

My 90 4x4 F350 uses a VSS in the rear diff.

The axle-mounted VSS was only used for the RABS in '90; the speedometer was still cable driven off of the tailshaft.

Its a 91 2wd with a speed cable. Its in good shape, all the gears are smooth and tight, the shifter is smooth and tight. Input shaft is tight and doesnt have any play. But it came out of a truck that had been sitting. though it doesn't seam like this was why it was scraped. It is an awesome tranny and i got it thinking i would change it to 4x4, but i, with an extreme amount of luck, i found a complete 4x4 with x-case it great shape instead.

6+1/2 Ford trucks and not looking -but- if I run across a nice manual Bump-Side with a 300 or FE... ;)

#1) '75 F150 -bought new, special ordered it when I was 21 :)
#2) '75 F100 -bought for parts

#3) '91 F150 SC -inherited with 66k on it
#4) '91 Bronco -bought to use as my primary vehicle and the last vehicle I intend to buy
#5) '90 F250 -bought for its ZF for the Bronco, also the '91 F150 SC will be used for parts for the Bronco too

#6) '76 F350 -given to me, was a buddy's cattle hauler, it's shot! LOL :)
#6+1/2) '74 C700 -given to me, but only the -front half- LOL :) (he wants to make a trailer with the back half)

Wasn't figuring on owning anything other than the '75 F150 I bought new, all this other stuff just kinda "happened". LOL :)
